This year (2021), we saw the unveiling of a couple of premium, as well as entry-level smartphones by Infinix in Nigeria. But unlike brands like Samsung that holds regular events to unveil its devices, Infinix – for the most part – unveiled their devices in Nigeria via their social media pages. Among other devices, we saw the unveiling of the premium Infinix Zero X series this year, and late in the year, the unveiling of the NOTE 11 series.
Infinix Zero X Series
The Infinix Zero X series came in two models – the regular Zero X and the Zero X Pro. And they came in as successors to the Infinix Zero 8 released in 2019. The most obvious upgrade on this series is its design. It came in an entirely new design – Infinix dumped the curved edges we’re used to on Infinix smartphones and adopted squared-off edges that really look like the iPhone 12 device.
